Model of a Capstan, Model of a capstan on a wooden floor. It is a capstan for eight wind trees and has four catches in the heel against walking back, just like other capstans, these catches can be set in two positions, one for each direction of rotation, but they are also provided with a key that prevents the catches from descending into the tooth rail in the heel and thus being put out of action. The drum has five 'Brown' cleats: these are fairly thin molars, widening and thickening above and below and fitted with metal fittings. The head is loose. The king, stuck in the floor and around which the drum revolves, is made of brass, the floor has been considerably reinforced.
